When gazing upon your world map, it might strike you as spectacular how the sounds of the Berlin underground can make their way all the way to Krasnoyarsk, Russia. Taking into consideration our knowledge of the modern, network connected planet, it is of course not the same sensation. Still, one can't avoid wondering if the massive amount of land in between hasn't given flavour to the ones and zeros streaming through the pipelines in order to reconnect as digital audio in the other end.

When playing out Just So Simple, focusing your ears beyond the sharp synthetic beats and the dark deep base, you can't escape the echoes of unending Siberian pine forests, sparkling rivers, majestic ice covered mountain ranges and abandoned Soviet era concrete cities. Audioteka plugged their laptops into the leftover equipment of a Cosmonaut space station and streamed the output through a state of the art night club speaker system. This is a recording from the other end of the neighbouring plains. Aimed straight for your heart. Open it up.
